MCH Modul for Switch and System Management
The N.A.T. MicroTCA Carrier Hub NAT-MCH is the central
management and data switching entity for all MicroTCA systems. The
NAT-MCH is MTCA.0, MTCA.1 and MTCA.4 compliant. The MCH delivers switching
functionality for the various system fabrics as defined in the AMC.x
standard series, i.e. Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe-Express (PCIe Gen2), Serial Rapid I/O
(SRIO Gen2), 10Gigabit
Ethernet (XAUI) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or SATA. The Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides a layer 2, non-blocking,
low-latency Gigabit Ethernet switch, supporting VPN as well as a port
based rate control.
The NAT-MCH incorporates as MicroTCA Carrier Management controller (MCMC)
the Freescale ColdFire MCF54452 CPU. The MCH supports and manages 6 or 12 AMC
modules, 2 cooling units and 1-4 power units. The MCH offers a GbE management port, a GbE
port, clock I/O on a BNC port, USB console port and two uplink ports on
the SRIO and XAUI version in the front panel. 10GbE (XAUI)-CX4/SFP+,
2,5GbE and 1Gb are available as option for the uplink ports.
A comprehensive software support like a Java based GUI
(NATview) interfacing to
the Open HPI top level API of the NAT-MCH completes the product and
makes it an ideal choice for any AMC based MicroTCA solution.
The NAT-MCH can used in Schroff's MicroTCA systems like
11850-005 and
xTCA for Physics MicroTCA.4 system
11850-019.
